After Chong Tingzhi sat down, he looked towards the long river of light and Qi. This time, Zhu Tingzhi did not come, but there were two more people in the court.
One of them was Daoist Zhangsun, and the other was Lin Tingzhi. The latter and Wu Qingxu were both on the side of the chief enforcer. It was just that they rarely showed themselves, which was why there were thirteen court enforcers in the court.
He pondered in his heart. Their previous actions, including the use of the "Bright Harmony Heavenly Instrument", had attracted the chief enforcer's attention and suspicion. This was why he summoned Lin Tingzhi this time to stabilize the situation in the court.
At this moment, he felt Daoist Zhong looking at him, so he nodded his head.
The Head Daoist waited for everyone to take their seats before asking, "Do any of you have any suggestions?"
Daoist Zhong did not hesitate anymore. He picked up the jade mallet and knocked on the jade chime. When the chief Daoist looked over, he stood up and bowed towards the long river. He said, "Chief enforcer, all court enforcers, I have a proposal here!"
The court enforcers remained silent and their expressions did not change. However, everyone knew what Daoist Zhong wanted to do.
The chief Daoist said, "Zhong Tingzhi, please speak."
Daoist Zhong said, "It has been three hundred and eighty-one years in the Da Xuan calendar. When Tianxia entered the world, to deal with the enemies from both inside and outside, and to protect the people of Tianxia, we supported Xuan Fa. After that, we repelled the enemies from outside, opened up our territory, and formed the current structure of thirteen upper continents in the inner world, and twenty-eight constellations in the outer world.
Now that three hundred years have passed, the world has changed. I think that there should be some changes to our previous plans. "
The Daoist at the head of the table glanced at him and swept his gaze across the table. His gaze paused on Daoist Zhangsun and Chong Tingzhi for a moment before he slowly said, "Zhong Tingzhi, you have made many suggestions in the past. What would you like to change?"
Daoist Zhong raised his head and raised his voice, "Chief Deacon, in the past hundred years, the Dao of Creation has flourished. This method has endless potential. Especially in the past few decades, our Tianxia has benefited greatly from this regardless of military strength or the people's livelihood. Flying boats and carriages, armored soldiers and dark weapons, and so on, have enabled our ordinary Tianxia citizens to use this method to deal with the enemy. They don't need to cultivate arduously for years.
I, Tianxia, am even more prosperous than before!
Compared to this, there were many Xuanxiu in the world today. They occupied the position, but they were bloated and clumsy. Their strength was inferior to those above, and their benefits were not beneficial to those below!
This Dao of Creation has many benefits. It should have taken advantage of the situation to help our Tianxia rise to the top! But now, it is suppressed and restrained by the Xuanfu and Xuanxiu everywhere. It cannot be released and it is difficult for it to continue rising.
If in the past three hundred years, Xuan Fa could be said to be a good method, showing the virtue of our Tianxia and the might of our Tianxia. But now, Xuan Fa is an evil method. Especially in the past few decades, it has become a vine attached to Tianxia. It is like a burden on one's back and a restraint on one's feet. It should be cut off and removed. "
When Daoist Yu Su heard this, she laughed coldly.
Feng and Gao were silent.
Zhu Tingzhi seemed to be considering something.
Ever since Tianxia entered the world, it had flourished for more than three hundred years. Xuan Fa, who had made outstanding contributions, was now being spurned. However, no one in the court spoke up for it.
Chong Tingzhi also stood up and said, "Head Deacon, everyone, in the past ten years, we have received letters from various Yujing masters and Yujing Regents. Inside, there are also requests to support Creation. However, due to the restrictions of the Xuanfu everywhere, it is difficult for us to extend our fists and feet.
Just a few months ago, Shang Chen Tian and You City joined forces with a few rebels in a futile attempt to open the turbid tide. This was not a coincidence, but because they knew that Tianxia's power was flourishing day by day, they had no choice but to look for any opportunity that could be found.
The enemy understands this logic, so how can I not understand it? Therefore, our Tianxia should not restrict ourselves at this time. Instead, we should let go of the restraints and allow it to spread its wings. "
Daoist Zhong continued, "Head Deacon, everyone, this Zhong believes that the time is ripe. The plan to support Xuan Fa in the past should be changed!"
Actually, Creation already occupied an extremely important position in Tianxia. They did not make this suggestion without any basis.
Because the situation in the inner layer was complicated, and there were Spirit Mysterious Realm and other True Cultivation forces everywhere, they were temporarily put aside. However, in the outer layer of the twenty-eight constellations, Creation undoubtedly had a certain foundation and was gradually replacing the original role of Xuanxiu.
If possible, they originally wanted to wait a while longer because Creation was developing very quickly. In another twenty to thirty years, the time would be even more ripe. When that time came, it would be easier to pass this suggestion.
However, it was different now. Because Xuan Fa had Zhang Yu, a person who opened up the path of Dao, they could no longer delay.
Once one or two Xuan Zun appeared in Xuanxiu, it would be difficult to stop them.
The difference between Creation and Xuan Fa was that regardless of whether it was outer armor, flying boat, or even Xuan Weapons, they were all external forces.
The people who controlled these Creation did not possess any extraordinary power. They also did not have any right to speak in the upper layer and could not compete with them for authority.
Moreover, Creation relied on a huge system to exist. It required coordination and consideration from all aspects. It seemed powerful, but it was actually very weak.
If something was wrong, it was very easy for them to suppress it. In their eyes, Creation was a perfect tool.
From then on, the mortal world would be completely separated from the upper echelons. They would no longer be like the Mystics, who could enter and leave the mortal world and connect the upper and lower echelons. They only needed to select outstanding disciples who were suitable for cultivation every year and take them in as disciples.
This arrangement was what many True Cultivators wanted to see.
The head Daoist pondered for a moment and looked at the Daoists seated. He said, "Deacon, do you have any suggestions on this?"
Chen Tingzhi sat upright and did not move. In his opinion, this was a conflict between True Cultivators and Xuanxiu. What did it have to do with Chaotic Cultivators? The Monk Hunjang below had always been guarded against by both sides and excluded.
Moreover, he was converted from True Cultivators to Chaotic Cultivators. He was not on the same path as those Xuan Fa cultivators who cultivated Chaotic Cultivators. Naturally, he did not need to stand up for Xuan Fa.
However, Daoist Chao knocked on the jade chime in front of him and said, "I think this is inappropriate."
The deacons were not surprised. Chao Huan was a person who would fight for anything. Even if the proposal had nothing to do with him, he would still find a reason to oppose it.
The head Daoist asked, "What do you think, Daoist Chao?"
Daoist Chao stood up and bowed. He raised his voice and said, "Head Daoist, everyone, Zhong Tingzhi and Chong Tingzhi said that they want to change the old policy and support Creation to replace Xuan Fa. In a hurry, I can't tell whether this is good or bad. Let's not talk about it for now. Let's just say that the current Xuanfu is under the care of Xuanxiu. Countless Xuanxiu are working for the outer 28 constellations.
Especially the inner 13 upper continents. They are the foundation of our Tianxia. If the sudden change causes chaos, won't the two of you be sinners? "
Daoist Zhong smiled. "So Chao Tingzhi is worried about this. Chao Tingzhi, the current Xuan leader overseeing the 13 upper continents is not Xuanxiu.
As for the inner continents and the military, they have borrowed a lot of power from Creation. Each continent has tens of thousands of armored soldiers and thousands of warships. They are not weaker than Xuanxiu. With such a combination, it is enough to intimidate all parties and stabilize the situation. As for the chaos below … "
He glanced at Feng and Gao. "Previously, when Xuan Fa was given a new name, there was no disturbance. Chao Tingzhi, you don't have to worry about this."
Daoist Chao said, "Oh? If that's the case, won't Xuanxiu be the only one at a disadvantage? "
Chong Tingzhi said expressionlessly, "Chao Tingzhi, Xuan Fa has already enjoyed three hundred years of benefits. Now, it has become a hindrance to the advancement of our Tianxia. For the sake of our overall situation, it's time to give up the position."
Daoist Chao revealed a mocking expression. "First take his name, then his position. You guys are really good at scheming." He looked at Feng and Gao. "Are the two of you willing to accept this?"
Feng and Gao continued to maintain their silence.
They were helpless. Even if they were unwilling, what could they do? After taking the name, they would not be considered as orthodox Xuanxiu. Their status would be awkward. Even if they fought for it, they would not gain any benefits. Instead, they would offend others. In the future, they might not even be able to keep their positions. What was the point?
However, after Daoist Chao said those words, he sat down and did not say anything else. No one knew what he meant.
Daoist Zhong stroked his beard and smiled. In fact, when Daoist Chao went to Feng and Gao's Dao Palace, he had already met with him. He promised to give some benefits to pacify him.
As for what he said now, although it seemed like he had a different opinion, it did not affect anything. On the contrary, if no one objected to his suggestion, the Head Enforcer would be more suspicious. Now, it was just right.
When the Head Enforcer saw that the other Daoists in the court had stopped speaking, he could not help but ponder. In fact, he had many concerns about this matter.
Previously, the reason why Xuan Fa did not cause any commotion was because there was still a path ahead for Xuan Fa. There was also Zhang Yu, the Xuan Zun Shouzheng of Xuan Fa, who was holding the fort.
Now, if they supported the creation of things, it would definitely cause a substantial suppression of Xuan Fa. This would give the Xuanxiu a misconception that the higher-ups were really going to give up on Xuan Fa. If there were people who wanted to incite them, there would really be trouble.
Even if it was just one or two cultivators causing trouble, it could cause great damage to the world. This was not something he wanted to see.
Therefore, even if they really wanted to do this, there was no need to be so anxious.
He could not help but turn to look at Lin Tingzhi. The latter received his signal and was about to stand up to speak. However, at this moment, Daoist Zhangsun said, "Head Enforcer, I have an item here. I would like the Head Enforcer to take a look at the contents inside." As he spoke, he took out a jade disc from his sleeve.
The Head Enforcer glanced at him and pondered for a moment. Then, he gestured. A delicate and pretty Daoist child walked out from behind him. He stepped on a lotus flower and walked down the long river of light. He came to Daoist Zhangsun and bowed. He took the jade disc and brought it to the top of the long river under the gaze of all the Head Enforcers.
The Head Enforcer took it and looked at it. There was no change in his expression, but there was a trace of undetectable surprise in his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said slowly, "Since the Head Enforcers have nothing to say, then let's make a decision."
Daoist Zhong and Chong Tingzhi looked at each other and immediately reached out to take the jade mallet. They held the handle and struck the jade chime in front of them.
